Rights, Persons, and Organizations: A Legal Theory for Bureaucratic Society (Second Edition)
About this ebook
From the First Edition:
“Dan-Cohen addresses an urgent issue — the competence of our legal ideas to handle the social reality of large-scale organizations.... The result is a closely reasoned argument for treating organizations as instruments rather than as persons.... Everyone interested in the modern ‘organizational society’ should be familiar with this lucid and sophisticated work.”
— Philip Selznick, Professor of Law and Sociology, University of California, Berkeley
“The growing power of organizations is one of the most striking features of our lives. Meir Dan-Cohen, indicting both law and moral philosophy for failing to give bureaucracies their due, has analyzed the gaps this oversight has left in societal arrangements and philosophic orientation. It is an impressive and comprehensive job.”
— Christopher Stone, Roy P. Crocker Professor of Law, University of Southern California
“Dan-Cohen employs the tools of economics, sociology, law, and philosophy to formulate a useful and insightful account of the moral and legal status of organizations. This is a book lawyers, economists, sociologists, and philosophers will certainly learn from, and one they should be anxious to read.”
— Jules L. Coleman, Professor of Law and Philosophy, Yale University
